Overall,good phone,but lacks of Auto-focus!

This phone is great if you like QWERTY phones. But you should know that before you have decided to buy this phone, there is no Auto-focus which enables you to take close pictures. You won't be able to take pictures of pages. On the other hand, phone's battery is really great.

Worse than old e72

damago1 has owned it for less than 3 months before publishing this review

I am really dissapointed. I am using the phone for business mainly. Nokia turned a great keyboard oriented symbian s60 on e72 into poor man's android clone which cannot be used with keyboard only with e6.

Problems:
- often when somebody is trying to call me there is an eror mesage on the screen WSERV LOGGING ERROR with some number and i cannot answer the call
- when trying to write sms after entering the new sms scren the keyboard is very unresponsive, looses keystrokes and the backspace key does not work. After about minute or so everything gets back to normal but using it is a pain
- other bugs like this in many places
- the keys for home/calendar/contacts and green/red phone are all COMPLETELY FLAT. There is completely no way to use them without looking at the phone.
- nokia did remove two top hardware keys compared to e72 so part of the tiny screen is wasted for two software keys larger than tiny information on each key on the old phone. Even worse: the left key has completely the same function as the home button and it cannot be redefined.
- there is no way to use most apps via keyboard only. Even built in menus or home scren: you can navigate through menu icons with the keys but you have to press the touchscreen instead of presing ok key or enter key to select. So you have to go back and forth between touch screen and the keyboard which is worse than using either keyboard or large touchscreen. Instead of a good phone for those using mainly keyboard now this is a phone...

Instead of a good phone for those using mainly keyboard now this is a phone for nobody. Previous nokias could be used without looking at them for most of common tasks. Not any more.
- calendar is nearly unusable! On the screen I can see ..... Two hours from the day. No good view and no good widget available wich would show a few nearest appointments. Step back from s60
- camera has no closeup as it had on e72, so it is useless for photographying documents, notes, product codes etc - this is the main use of the camera phone for me.
- symbian belle might be good for large touch screen computers but not for small screen phones. Lot of space wasted on a small screen for a space between icons and widgets, rounded edges etc. Icons colorfull but not ergonomic. Everybody who had a windows phone with metro tiles at least once in his hand knows what i am talking about and what I am missing. The same disease here as with android based phones.

Build quality10/10

Reception10/10

Call quality10/10

Internet10/10I dont expect more from tiny screen phone. I have an ipad for full screen internet

Multimedia10/10More than I can expect from tiny screen phone. And much more than e6 users will ever need.

Camera5/10No autofocus. No closeup for documents

UI speed5/10

Everyday usage4/10Bugs and not very well thought of interface for keyboard oriented phone

Text input5/10The only reason for such a low nratong here is a bug with nonresponsive keyboard when starting to write sms

Display9/10Lot of space wasted on a small screen for a space between icons and widgets, rounded edges etc

Battery10/10

Pros

multiple homescreens and good swipe down message area with toggles for bluetooth/silent mode/mobile data etc.

lock/unlock slider which is also switching on flashlight when long pressed. On previous phones there was a tendency to unlock and call random people from the pocket

Business in style

A device good for daily use and preety good looking in hand feels premium while holding. one of the best displays according to me. It is value for money....
If you are in for touch, it might hurt due to the fact that it has small screen but else works fine......

Very Satisfied

Awesome communicator phone. Nokia Drive (GPS) is the best! Belle update made everything very smooth. Great for e-mail and document editing. The qwerty keyboard is worth all the money! As of today, there is no phone that can compare to this other than the blackberry 9900. Nokia did a good job on this one.

Cons

really bad phone

Alp1111 has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

the phone is a crap. It freezes, it cant connect, it cannot browse. And 2 months ago I couldn't chaange the brightness of the screen. I just like the sound and the video player of e6. And finally I send my phone to nokia service 10 days ago.

It is a good phone. I liked the camera so much. But it has some cons like battery. Others are very well. Wifi gaming qwerty etc. The touch screen is really usable. I liked the d-pad much too. Generally I use it in games and in internet. And the symbian anna is the best thing for this phone.

Cons

I was a S...... user, all my phones were of same make but fell in love with E6-00. Truely Great phone. good call quality, marvelous finish, solid built, its steel border with silver colour looks terrific, qwerty with touch screen at great combination, anna gives well support, camera is also remarkable. resolution is perfect for smartphone. A work of masterpiece.
